The ESC is governed by an elected board comprising volunteer cardiovascular experts. Our activities are overseen by several committees whose activities are delivered by over 2,000 expert cardiology volunteers.
The ESC employs staff to support its professional volunteers in the development, production and management of these activities. This staff is managed by a chief executive officer who reports to the president and management group of the ESC Board.

The ESC counts 58 National Cardiac Societies which pay a fee and have a vote on our activities.
The ESC has two administrative centres: The European Heart House in Biot, France, and the European Heart Agency in Brussels, Belgium.
